Making a mountain out of a mole hill!  

This is an English idiom used when someone appears to be exaggerating a situation.  It can happen externally where others see it, or it can happen internally where only I notice the mountain growing inside of me. 

Last week I was able to sit down with my closest group of friends. I found myself looking around the room and thinking “I love being with these people.” Reflecting back, I realized what it is about this group of friends that makes me feel so good. They not only know me but they want to know me better. They make that known by giving me the gift of listening well. It’s a rare gift to have people who listen well.
